Learning about force and motion, Ms. Mary Cathryn Manley's 5th grade built a protective enclosure for an egg. The students then dropped the egg inside the enclosure from the top step of the bleachers. Some eggs survived the fall and some did not... but the students had fun learning either way. #greatteachers #FromRootstoBloom #PatriotDNA
